Malicious Software Removal Tool - Does it create logs?
I ran the newest Malicious Software Removal Tool from the latest batch of Windows updates yesterday. Since I have a lot of files in ran into the wee hours. It showed 5 infections when I went to bed, and I expected it to be still going this morning, but when I went to look this morning, MRT.exe was no longer running.
The Event Viewer shows a number of errors around 4:00 AM with files and programs that should not even have been running. I suspect that this is when MRT.exe shut down, though it doesn't show in the event log as shutting down.
Does the Malicious Software Removal Tool create logs of any kind as it works? If so, where can I find them?
Any help gratefully received.
